Hi ,

i’m looking for a unix shellscript which calls Predict in batchmode and generates an adabas updatescript to update FDT in adabas if filedefinition in predict changes. customer wants to start such a script with startup parameters database and filenumber and this should do predict generation process for adabas update scripts.

Does anybody have something like this already ?

Regards

You have to call natural with the following command:  
natural parm= BATCHMODE CMSYNIN=cmobjin.txt CMOBJIN=cmobjin.txt CMPRINT=batch.out

The file cmobjin.txt has to contain the Predict commands. It may look like this:

logon sysdic  
menu  
gen af  
FNR=17,dbnr=10  
FIN

You may also use environment variables to address cmibjin.txt.

The results are written into file batch.out
